Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone; cites right to privacy
Hillview, Kentucky resident William H. Merideth describes his weekend: "Sunday afternoon, the kids – my girls – were out on the back deck, and the neighbors were out in their yard. And they come in and said, 'Dad, there's a drone out here, flying over everybody's yard.'" Merideth grabbed his shotgun and waited to see if the drone crossed over his property.

What happens if I take a slingshot and knock it out of the sky ? I certainly would have been doing something myself .. For legal authorized purposes .. GREAT .. but not for what it appears was being done .... I am behind this guy 5000 % .. a drone does not belong hovering over any ones yard, let alone a teen sun bathing, unless law enforcement are in control of it and only then, if they have a search warrant having been signed and served.
Good idea. The old wrist rocket with a pouch full of BBs probably would do the trick if the scattergun was out of the question.
I say good shot! I don't want one over my property either and would probably take the same measure.
And you may be going to Jail as well.
I'm out in the country. Drone season lasts all year here and I probably wouldn't even get the first shot.
And no bag limit either
